Magnetic dirt separator for protecting heat pumps and heating/cooling systems

In closed heating and cooling systems with heat pumps, contaminants in the circulating medium can cause wear or damage to system components such as pumps, valves, etc. These contaminants can also clog heat exchangers, radiator connections and pipes, reducing thermal efficiency and thus the overall performance of the system. The filter built into the magnetic dirt separator filters these particles out of the system, especially particles consisting of sand and rust (dissolved iron oxide). These contaminants collect at the bottom of the tank. The tank is easy to clean by opening the shut-off valve at the bottom.

The dirt separator is made of technical plastic and is particularly suitable for heating and cooling systems.
It can only be installed vertically in the pipe. The upper brass part of the filter ensures dimensional stability and a long service life even with high volume flows, e.g. in heat pumps.

The two shut-off valves are designed to minimize pressure resistance when fluid enters and exits the filter chamber. The large capacity of the chamber effectively retains the fluid so that it can be filtered as efficiently as possible, i.e. freed from magnetic and non-magnetic particles.

The extra-long magnetic rod ensures that metal contaminants adhere to the strong magnet when the fluid flows through the magnetic field. The efficiency of the capture is further enhanced by the fact that the filter housing is made of stainless steel throughout its entire depth and, thanks to its frame design, even non-magnetic particles are filtered out of the flowing liquid.
